Arlo devices only sends notifications according to the rules in the mode that is currently active. To reduce unwanted notifications, you might need to adjust the position of one or more cameras, reduce motion or audio sensitivity, change your notification settings, or create a custom mode.  

To reduce the number of unwanted notifications that you receive:

1. Position your camera so that it does not pick up the motion that is triggering the camera to notify you.
   For example, if Arlo is notifying you about cars passing in the street, aim your camera so that the street is outside the camera’s field of view. For more information about camera positioning, visit: How do I position my Arlo wire-free camera?
2. Create activity zones for your camera to focus on.
   For more information about activity zones, visit: What are activity zones and how do I create them?
3. If you are unable to position your camera so that the field of view only includes motion that you care about, reduce your camera’s motion sensitivity instead.
   You must reduce your camera’s motion sensitivity in the rules for each mode in which you receive unwanted notifications.
   For more information about how to adjust your camera’s motion sensitivity, visit: How do I change the motion sensitivity on my Arlo camera?
   For more information about finding the right motion sensitivity setting, visit: How do I use the motion detection test for my Arlo device?
   If you are receiving unwanted sound-triggered notifications, reduce the audio sensitivity settings on the camera or cameras that are triggering too often.
4. You can also edit your modes and rules to record based only on motion if all of the sound-based notifications are unwanted.
   For more information about changing audio sensitivity settings, visit How do I change the audio sensitivity on my Arlo camera?
   For more information about disabling sound detection, visit: How do I enable or disable motion or sound detection?

If you like the amount of videos that Arlo is recording, but you want to receive fewer notifications, either edit the notification settings in your modes and rules or create a different custom mode for when you want recordings without notifications.
For example, you can create a mode that records but does not send notifications so that you can watch pet videos in your Arlo library without getting notified every time your pet moves or makes noise.
For more information about changing notifications settings, visit: How do I set up notifications or alerts?

Arlo Secure Smart Notification Options

With an Arlo Secure subscription, you can use Smart Notifications to select which notifications you receive. You can purchase a plan for multiple cameras, a single camera, or both. This provides a flexible and customizable experience for your Arlo system. You can activate any combination of the following features in the Arlo Secure app to determine what kind of motion alerts you want to receive.

• Person Detection. With the Arlo Person Detection feature, you receive real-time alerts when people approach your home. The person detection feature also allows you to search your recording library for videos containing people. For more information about camera positioning, visit: What is Arlo’s person detection feature?
• Package Detection. The Package Detection feature allows you to receive rich notifications when your Arlo camera sees a package being picked up or dropped off. With Package Detection turned on in the Arlo Secure app, your camera detects packages as small as a shoe box. For more information, visit: What is the Arlo package detection feature?
• Animal and Vehicle Detection. The Vehicle Detection feature detects cars, trucks, buses, motorbikes, and bicycles, and allows you to receive rich notifications when your Arlo camera detects a vehicle. The animal detection feature allows you to receive rich notifications when your Arlo camera detects an animal. It detects any animal larger than a small rodent.

Alarm Detection. The Alarm Detection feature notifies you on the Arlo Secure app when an Arlo camera hears a smoke and/or carbon monoxide (CO) detector’s alarm. Your Arlo camera records until activity stops or for a fixed length of time.  For more information, visit: What is the Arlo smoke and CO alarm detection feature?

When motion detection is enabled for your Arlo camera, you can choose what type of motion you want to be notified about.

Here is the List of Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera Troubleshooting

Arlo Essential Spotlight camera not recording

Troubleshooting Arlo To record to the cloud, any camera newer than the Pro 2 must have a sub. Local recordings can be enabled if the Essential is synchronized to your base. To watch on a computer, you may need to securely detach the disc, depending on your base. Only the VMB4540 and later bases/hubs may use the app to watch recordings without having to eject them.

Arlo Essential Camera Won’t Connect

Make sure that:

• You’re using a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network to connect your Arlo device. Only a 2.4 GHz band, not a 5 GHz band, can be used by your Arlo device.
• You’re trying to connect your camera to the same 2.4 GHz network that your phone or mobile device is linked to.
• The SSID and password for the network are case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as written. You may view your password before submitting it by tapping the password eye symbol.
• Positioning your camera between 10-15 feet (3-4.5 meters) of your Wi-Fi router during setup. You may move the camera anywhere within range of your Wi-Fi router after it’s been set up and connected.
• (The white LED ring on the Arlo Video Doorbell blinks.) If the camera LED blinks for more than two minutes without successfully connecting to your Wi-Fi network, it may time out. Press the sync button again if the camera times out. Throughout the connecting procedure, make sure the LED is blinking blue.
• To complete the onboarding process, you must hear a chime noise from the camera after scanning the QR code. Continue only when the QR code has been scanned and a chime has been heard.
• Make sure the camera has an active SIM card if it’s a portable Arlo device like the Go series cameras. Make sure the camera is within range of your cell network as well.
